This day, I have been emptying boxes and bags in our
bedroom. Now we have finished our bedroom closets, and
I have put clothes, shoes and some other stuff in the
closet.
We have not sold our old appartment, but someone are
going to rent it. We are sorry that we have not sold
it, but we are happy that we at least have been able
to rent it out.
In the evening, we wisited Charles' oldest sister. We
also went to see her daughter, who is at my age, and
her family too.

The party was pleasant. We were dancing and had a nice
time together with our friends.
Today we had planned to go to some furniture shops, to
see if we could find a new sofa. We have decided to
buy a new sofa, as a Christmas present to ourselves.
But both the shops which are selling furnitures here
in our town were closed today.
When we came home, we started to empty some boxes and
to put up some shelfs, and tryed to tidy our new
house. We did quite a lot, but we have still got lots
of stuff to do, before we are finished.
Later today, we wisited Charles' sister. Charles'
brother and his family also were there.

I have been at work

Tonight Charles and I
are going to a party, to dance and to have a nice
time, together with some friends. I am sure it will be
a pleasant evening.

Charles, Chico and I
came home yesterday. We have been wisiting my parents
this Christmas, while Cecilie and Joakim are spending
Christmas together with their father. But I have
talked to them, on the mobile telephone, each day.
Unfortunately Joakim is not well yet. He has been to
the doctor twize during Christmas. He has got
pneumonia in his right lung. I hope that the medicine
will help him getting well, fast.
We have had a nice
and lovely Christmas, together with my relatives. At
December 23rd, we went to see my mothers mother. She
always arrange a Christmas party at December 23rd.
This year we were 21 people in her small appartment.
It was a very nice party.
Rest of the Christmas
days we spent together with my parents, my sister and
her two boys and my mothers mother. We had some
wonderful days together with them, before we went
home, yesterday.
I have been at work
today. (From 10 AM to 3 PM).
It was a terrible
storm when we drove for 6 hours, to wisit my parents,
and also when we went home. But the trip went well,
and we came safe home.
Charles' sister came
to see us, yesterday evening.
Tonight we went to
see Charles' brother, and his family.

Joakim is
better today, but he has not been at school. He still
has fever (but it's not very high). Today was the kids
last day on school before Christmas.
We were
not able to decorate our Christmas tree yesterday.
Joakim was ill, and we decided to wait until today, and
hoped that he would be better, and that he could
partisipate in decorating it. We also have made a
gingerbread house today.
Cecilie
and Joakim are decorating our Christmas tree.
More
photos of our Christmas
preperations are here.
Cecilie
and Joakim left, by plane, this afternoon, to see their
father in their Christmas Holiday. They called me, when
the plane has landed and told me that the flight had
went well, and that everything was all right.
Tomorrow
morning, Charles and I are driving to wisit my parents.
We will be home at December 26th..

It's
a pity that the snow has melted away. Today it's 8
degreez Celcius and rain. But, it's still 4 days left
for Christmas. We are still able to get a white
Christmas. At least we can hope for it.
This
year Christmas Eve is at the 4th Sunday of advent:
Joakim is still ill. I am home, togehter with him today
too. He still has fever and sore throat. But he is
better today, so I belive he will be well for Christmas.
I
have been unpacking 4-5 boxes with stuff from our old
appartment today. It seems like we will never finish
unpacking all the boxes.
Today
we are going to buy ourselves a Christmas tree and
decorate it. We are also going to decorate our house for
Christmas.
Cecilie and Joakim are leaving for their father tomorrow
afternoon, and Charles and I are leaving to wisit my
parents at Friday. We are coming home at December 26th,
but Cecilie and Joakim are staying with their father
until next year.
It's
possible that I will not have time to update my blog
before we are leaving, so I am taking advantage of the
opportunity to wish you all a Marry Christmas and a
happy new year!

Today
it is raining. A lot!
Joakim is ill. He has the fever and sore throat. I am
home from my work, together with Joakim today. I have
been taking care of Joakim, and I also have started to
pack some clothes for Cecilie and Joakim, who is leaving
to wisit their father at Thursday.
Cecilie is at school. Since I am home today, I am going
to get her by car, soon. It will only take 5 minutes,
and Joakim are able to stay alone for a few minutes.
Cecilie are going to a Christmas school ball tonight.
She is 13 years old, and this is her first Christmas
school ball. She is looking forward to it a lot.

We
have got more snow. Now we are really getting the
Christmas spirit, here.
If
you wish to take a look at our new house, in the snow,
take a look down at
this page.
I
have been tidying in our front entrance hall today. We
have had several furnitures and lots of boxes there,
which not was supposed to be in that room. Today I have
removed all that stuff that was not supposed to be
there. It's wonderful to have another room that looks
okey. (Now the front entrance, the kitchen and the
livingroom are tidy, but we still have boxes and stuff
in all the other rooms yet.
The family
who has been considering to rent our old appartment,
told us, today, that they will rent it from 2007. Since
we have not managed to sell our old appartment, we are
happy that we at least are able to rent it out.
Charles sister came to see us this evening. She brought
her Christmas presents. When she left, we gave her our
presents too.
Then
I baked the last Christmas cookie for this year.

Sunday December 17th |

I
have continued to bake today too. But now I am almost
finished. I just have one Christmas cookie left to bake.
I am going to do that tomorrow.
Today is the 3rd Sunday of
advent, and we have lightened the 3rd advent candle.
Normally the shops are closed at Sunday's, but today
they were open. We have been on a little trip, to buy
some stuff.
I
have also been at the attic, to get our Christmas
decorations. (We have several boxes!) Cecilie and Joakim
are going to their father, by plane, at Thursday, and
Charles and I are driving by car to my parents at
Friday. Because of this, we are going to decorate our
home, some day's early. But, we are not going to be away
for so many days. I am going to work at December 27th,
and it's nice to come home to a Christmas decorated
home.
Today
it has snowed a bit more, but not much. Enouch to make
it white and nice outdoors. I hope that we wil have a
white Christmas.

Now
we have moved our computer to our new house. 4 of my
friends, and I washed our old appartment at Thursday.
First we went to a pizza restaurant, and enjoyed a good
meal of pizza. Then we went to wash. We were washing for
4 1/2 hours. I am SO happy that we are finished with our
old appartment. Unfortunately we have not sold it yet.
But a family has been considering to rent it. If we
can't sell it, we just have to rent it out. This family
have not said that they will rent it. They are just
considering it. We are waiting to hear from them, if
they want to rent it.
Yesterday I bought the last Christmas present.
Fortunately I bought almost all of our Christmas
presents in October and November.
Charles has worked this day to get broadband to our
computer. He have also put up some stuff into our
wardrobe at our bedroom, so that we are able to put up
our clothes in it.
We
got some snow today, but not much. And the weather
forecast told us that the snow will melt until
Christmas. I am not very fond of snow and cold weather,
but I hope that we will have snow for Christmas. I love
some snow during Christmas time.
Normally I have almost finished with my Christmas
cookies at this time of December. But this year we have
been too busy with our old and our new house. But, today
I started to bake. Cecilie and Joakim was helping me a
lot. They have grown to big and very helpful kids.

Yesterday was the 2nd Sunday
of advent!
And, today is Cecilie's 13 th
birthday. I can't belive that I have a teenager! Time flies.
We
are going to make a bathroom out of an old bedroom.
This new bathroom is not
quite finished yet. We are waiting for a friend of ours, who
is a plumber.
For over a week, we have had
lots of boxes and furnitures over our whole house. This
weekend I have managed to fix the kitchen and the livingroom,
so now the house looks tidy and nice. But we have lots of
stuff in some of the bedrooms, which we have not got in the
correct places yet.
I
have not had time to bake any Christmas cookies yet. But I
will start soon. Perhaps this weekend (15th to 17th).
We
have not moved our computer to our new house yet. We will not
get internet until December 19th in our new house, so that's
why we still are having our computer in our old appartment.
But I am not in our old appartment very often, so I am not
updating my blog so often, now.
Next
Thursday (14th), 4 friends of mine and I are going to wash our
old appartment. I am so grateful that they are willing to use
their busy time before Christmas to help me with this.

We are still using every
spare minute (after work), on trying to get our stuff in order
in our new house.
Yesterday, we went to get the
old appartment, to get the aquarium. It went well! All the
fishes survived the moving.
Charles emptyed the freezer,
too, yesterday, but we could mot move it yet. It's full of ice.
We had to let it stay in the appartment, until today. We are
going to move the freezer to our new house, today. We have
borrowed some space in Charles' sisters freezer, until we will
get our own freezer in our new house today.
We have gotten a bit in
order, in our new house now. But still there are lots of boxes
and some furnitures that we have not got in the correct places
yet. And there are still some stuff left in our old appartment.
But we are very happy that we have moved. I am looking forward
to empty the appartment, and get it washed.
We have
not moved our computer yet. It may take about 14 days until we
will get internet, at our new house, so we are keeping the
computer in our old appartment, as long as possible.
I took
these 3 photos of the sunrise, yesterday. Click at the photos,
to enlarge them:
I have also
taken 3 photos from our new house, from the
kitchen,
the
livingroom and
the hall.

Today is the first Sunday of
Advent!
We have decorated our new
house with Advent candles and lights.
We have now been sleeping for
3 nights in our new house. We are not finished with our new
bathroom. Charles has been working with the new bathroom for
two days, now. But, while we are waiting for the new bathroom
to finish, we are using the small, old bathroom. (We are going
to use this old bathroom, as a washing room, for our washing
machine, when our new bathroom is finished.)
Both Charles and I have been
using a lot of time trying to get in order. And we are going
to use even more time doing this.
This will take a lot of time,
to finish working with our new house, and to move our stuff to
our new house.

Friday December 1st |

We are going to move in to
our new house this weekend. It will take a few days until I am
able to update my Web Site and blog, and reply to e-mails.
I wish you a nice and
peaceful advent!
